My hubby suffers depression and has been sliding lately. He feels its because of our relationship which i feel may contribute a small amount. Has marriage counseling helped anyone or does it need to ve more focused on the individual first? Or can they work together?
Man this reads so messy, im sorry. Very overwhelmed at the moment. Feel like im failing terribly.

@Fullofhope79 marriage counseling could help but it seems to me that there are a few layers to unfold. Talking and working out the issues, making a plan together and if he is willing some counseling.
This is a team effort so hopefully he is willing to talk to you and express everything that is at play.
Depression is difficult but you would know him best and when he is up for a talk hopefully a little bit of clarity might help.to direct you
Hang strong, hoping you can work it out and strengthen your relationship.
Take care
